Thinking of getting a VPS - Got some questions

    I have a few proxy sites as well as other random sites and I was thinking about getting a VPS to save some money. Just wondering - there would be no hosting issuse using a proxy with a VPS right? As in would they be allowed. Also, if I have a VPS with one dedicated ip would I still be able to use as many domains on the VPS as I wanted? Just wondering thanks for any help.

    Shouldn't be any issues with it as the resources are all allocated to you, and isolated. However, proxies can use a lot of resources and kill a VPS quicky.

    before buying the vps read the TOS and AUP carefully and ask the company you are intending to buy from, not all hosts allow proxies even on vps or dedicated.

    other than that as long as you stay within the alloted resources, it should be ok.

    and yes you can host unlimited domains with 1 dedicated ip, (as long as the resources hold up)

    VPS is right solution. But first of all make sure your web hosting provider will allow you to host all proxies there.

    A VPS will do the job however stress with the host and see if he allows proxy hosting first as you don't want to get banned and lose the money that you paid.

    as what has been mentioned, make sure your host allows proxies, because they could terminate your services.

    Should not be a problem if you will read TOS and AUP of a company first.
